I often wonder if people really read blogs seriously. The other day I asked my daughter to bring me to this one spot to take a picture of this something something that I want to post in my blog.
With rolling eyes, she says, “no one ever bothers to read blogs” …
I was thoughtful for a while and considered her statement. I said, “you could be right on that but, I noticed the number of page views on my site is slowly increasing each day as I write more blogs”…That’s very encouraging sign for me. I am inspired to write more.
But hey, I have a confession. The number of views on my web page are actually small…Six months since I started blogging, I couldn’t even get a hundred views. There is one guy in
Hush, hush....I comforted myself.. There are over sixty million blogs last year alone and unless one has a very prominent name and a very interesting piece of article to write, it is very difficult to attract readers. I visited one site who boasted listings of famous blogs and I tried reading a few of them. They seem very long and winding…I couldn’t even finish one article..I’m thinking I have to make mine, short ..I have to apply what I’ve learned in my composition writing. It should be like a skirt-- not too long and not to short: long will bore the audience to death, very short is giving away too soon…not too short will leave the audience asking for more!...
On serious note, I have written a couple of entries about topics that interest me most or things that I find annoying, pressing, amusing, disturbing..just anything that moves me to - tears, laugher or death. It may not be of interest to all, even they might find it useless but who knows..…
Plus I want to see my works online..I take pride that I am able to write my thoughts and read them over and over again. I will recruit more readers..ha ha...
In a word of a famous poet: Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions, All life is an experiment. The more the experiment the better”…..
